Where do USGS topo tiles come from?
« on: March 24, 2006, 10:47:13 AM »
Hi,

I'm a long time user of TF and I love it!

I'm also a software writer and was thinking of integrating some USGS topo map tiles into an app I'm writing.  I can't track down where on the Internet you're downloading the indivdiual tiles from in realtime.  Where is this magical web service?

Thanks!

There is some documentation on the site about how to grab tiles, or you can figure it out from the URL lines.

Good luck!
